Allerton Library, Liverpool
Having photographed Larkill library a few weeks ago due to its imminent demise, I decided to go upto Allerton library which is a twin of Larkhill. Same architect and almost identical, just slightly different proportions. The #39;futurist #39; concrete facade was in good condition, however it lacked Larkhill #39;s little coloured ceramic tiling detail, being substituted with a rather plain black tile. Its almost half a century old and I have put on some comparison photos from when new in 1963. A fantastic piece of striking, light filled 60s functionalism. Love it............From:dpnewboldViews:9 0ratingsTime:01:50More inEducation<\/p>\n
